VAR-201702-0012
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 22:34Array index error in the msm_sensor_config function in kernel/SM-G9008V_CHN_KK_Opensource/Kernel/drivers/media/platform/msm/camera_v2/sensor/msm_sensor.c in Samsung devices with Android KK(4.4) or L and an APQ8084, MSM8974, or MSM8974pro chipset allows local users to have unspecified impact via the gpio_config.gpio_name value. Samsumgandroidphone is a series of mobile phones based on the Android platform developed by South Korea's Samsung. There is a memory corruption vulnerability in the smsm_sensor_config' function in the v4l-subdev driver of samsumgandroidphone. This vulnerability is caused by the failure to perform boundary checking when the program writes gpio_config.gpio_name as an index to the buffer. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause memory corruption. Samsung is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected applications. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition
